...$195 is a sinfully low amount of money to pay for one.

Wow, that's a little less than what I paid for mine from ebay(220.00) I consider my price to be pretty good, especially now, considering they don't make them anymore.

With a pickup and hardware upgrade(the Duncan designed pu don't sound that good, and the machines suck), and possibly a fret dressing(helped mine a lot), they are a very good guitar. I don't like the black or red colors so much as I do the burst I have. I've also toyed with the idea of having the inlays "upgraded".

That's a great price. I upgraded the p'ups in mine, but left everything else alone. After a short break in the machines stablilized and it stays in tune fine now. Mine never had the bridge noise that some complained of.
